HOUSE PLAN OF THE WEEK

ASK AN EXPERT: My grass is thin and sparse. What can I do?

ONE STOREY TBM2416

Sometimes grass comes in weak, thin, and patchy. This can be caused by a few different reasons. One of the common things that causes this problem is shade. Often when grass is overshadowed by trees and bushes, it just plain won’t grow well. Grass loves sunshine and water. If you deprive it of either, it’s not going to do very well and will be thin and patchy. Another thing that causes grass to grow thin and patchy is poor soil conditions. This can sometimes be overcome by fertilization, and sometimes not. Grass soil needs to have good drainage, be slightly acidic, and have some sandy content to it. If your soil has large clay deposits or rocks, it will cause the grass to grow very poorly. If this is the case, you can try adding gypsum periodically over the course of about three years. This will break up

A fourth thing that can cause your grass to be thin and patchy is if you have the wrong kind of grass for your region. Certain grasses prefer some climates more than others. Other grasses have been bred for specific regions and conditions in order to more adequately tolerate things like heat and drought. Though most grasses will grow in any of the regions of Canada, they won’t thrive in all of those regions and will be thin and patchy unless specifically suited to the particular climate.

A third thing that can cause grass to thin out and lose its lush appeal over time is a lack of aeration. Grass needs to be aerated periodically every few years in order to reestablish proper roots. The aeration will allow the grass roots to decompress from being compacted during sports and other things, and will give them a nice flow of oxygen.

New accessibility strategy unrolled Disabled residents, caregivers poke holes in framework

Carole Rooney Free Press

remier Christy Clark has released an accessibility strategy based on the input of thousands of British Columbians who participated in a threemonth public consultation. Accessibility 2024 is a 10-year plan she says is intended to make B.C. “the most progressive place in Canada” for people with disabilities. Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson has also been appointed as parliamentary secretary for accessibility to the Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation. Mel Torgerson cares for seniors in his role as manager at Carefree Manor assisted living facility for seniors in 100 Mile House. He also sat on the Measuring up the North (MUTN) committee that studied accessibility and inclusivity a few years back. The committee worked with local politicians, residents and seniors, as well as provincial disability societies, he says, adding folks went to Winnipeg to see what was done there, and the committee consulted with experts from the United States. “What disturbs me is [government is] unveiling it as a totally new idea – when there has been study after study after study.” At that time, the former District councillor explains, communities from 100 Mile House to throughout northern B.C. were involved in the MUTN studies. “There were all kinds of

stuff that went on for years. It’s like [the provincial government] put it in the closet. Did they not take notice of any of those studies that were being done? “It sounds like they are reinventing the wheel ... like everything we’ve done before is for naught.” 100 Mile House resident Kelly De La Mare gets around in a wheelchair, but says he experiences difficulties, despite his having more upper body strength than many seniors and people with disabilities. He is generally pleased the provincial government intends to take some steps,

but notes actions now at the community level could help many people. Accessibility 2024 is designed around 12 building blocks to reflect themes emerging from the public consultation. The Inclusive Communities block looks at how people with disabilities live their daily lives at the local community level in B.C., and about how local governments and the province can work together to make community amenities more accessible. De La Mare notes he pointed out a prime example of this problem to local

government four years ago. “One of the hardest buildings to get into in 100 Mile House is the District office.” At that time, he was taking a spin around town with Mayor Mitch Campsall, who was “test-driving” a wheelchair route over the sidewalks. The District’s door is still too heavy to manoeuvre through in a wheelchair and the sidewalks in the downtown core continue to crumble and have some steep slopes, he explains. “I went through everything in the downtown [with Campsall]. And you know how much has been done? Nothing – nada.”

The Inclusive Government block focuses on how the structure of government includes and affects the daily life of people with disabilities. While he’s tried this route unsuccessfully in 100 Mile House, De La Mare adds he knows the path to improved accessibility lies in the hands of government to a great degree. “The only way would be through an advocate, or approaching your city council, MP for the area or MLA. What other options have you got?” Other building blocks range from “relatively satisfactory” (services, accessible environment), to “pretty good here” (employment, health transportation) to “very good” (emergency preparedness), he says. The Consumer Experience block focuses on how the private sector provides goods and services to people with disabilities who live and travel to B.C. De La Mare explains the “substantial” fuel rebate for those, like him, who do drive with disabilities, should be publicized more, and government should promote public awareness initiatives for the general public perception. “If folks could just look at the people in a wheelchair, don’t look at the wheelchair, with a person in it.” More details on the study and the plan can be downloaded online at www. newsroom.gov.bc.ca/down loads/Accessibility_Summit. pdf. Nearly 550,000 people are living with a disability in B.C. today.

the land base. That has to continue.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said the decision could potentially enhance economic development in the future by creating that certainty, “depending on how we can all sit at the table and work together in the best interest of everyone.” “We’ve had some differences, but we’ve had a lot of successes with our First Nations communities. I think this will be an opportunity for us to all move forward together.”

hopeful this “ We're means the end of

poverty for a lot of our people."

– Joe Alphonse

Chief Alphonse said “it’s a new Canada.” “We’re hopeful this means the end of poverty for a lot of our people. It’s going to help us in terms of governance-related issues and how we look after our own people and relying on the natural resources around our territory.”

At the same time, Alphonse made clear this isn’t a case of the Tsilhqot’in First Nation separating from Canada. “We want to be part of larger society and we believe in this country.” Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the Tahltan Nation of Dease Lake in northern B.C. announced its intention to prepare an Aboriginal title and rights claim against the province and Fortune Minerals Ltd., a North American resource company developing the Arctos Anthracite Project, a huge metallurgical coal

project in northwestern B.C. “Today is a proud day for the Tsilhqot’in Nation and all First Nations of B.C.,” said Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee in a news release. “This historic ruling re-affirms what the Tahltan people have been saying for over a hundred years – this is our territory, and we have never surrendered our title. The province and Canada will now have to respect that title and stop unilaterally making decisions without our consent.”

FAST bytes SENIORS SUPPORTS Mayor Mitch Campsall’s verbal report at the June 24 council meeting highlighted an Agefriendly Community Café he attended that morning. He said Councillor Ralph Fossum and age-friendly community co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt did a “phenomenal” job facilitating the discussions, and he was pleased at the group of potential volunteers that turned out. “The people I saw there are the doers; they are not the type to sit back on the fence; these are the [people who] get out and do the work.”

HEALTH CONTRACT Health-care workers have ratified a new five-year collective agreement by a vote of 64.6 per cent. It includes 5.5 per cent in general wage increases, a cap on contracting out of 500 full-time equivalent positions over the term, joint administration of benefits and continuation of an upgrading program. Provisions specific to ambulance paramedics and staff modify language covering ambulance services and address longstanding contract issues.

POLLUTION FINES The Ministry of Environment is introducing a new financial penalty program to encourage compliance with the Environmental Management Act and the Integrated Pest Management Act. Penalties up to $75,000 will be issued when noncompliance has a direct environmental impact or interferes with the protection of the environment, as an alternative option avoiding a public court process for a wide range of contraventions.

The Valley Room in 100 Mile House was packed with people grouped at tables in break-out sessions during the Age-friendly Rural BC workshop on June 24. Participants discussed ideas, strengths and weaknesses in supports for seniors living both in and around 100 Mile House.

Age-friendly ideas shared

Carole Rooney Free Press

An Age-friendly Rural B.C. (AFRBC) Planning Café attracted 45 people of various ages to the Valley Room in 100 Mile House on June 24. Co-facilitator of the workshop, District of 100 Mile House Counsellor Ralph Fossum, said he felt it was an “important” day. “Age-friendly has momentum now; we’re really launching the project in the South Cariboo, and that starts today. We move from words and studies and surveys into action – and that’s big.” Each participant was directed to select a table, each of which had one of eight topics displayed to examine and discuss, and later shared ideas and issues. They were asked to consider getting together again as a working group, and as another large group. Fossum added there is a need

to identify members of a steering committee to lead the development of a framework for the operation of the AFRBC initiative. “We need people and action and that’s what today is all about. If you like it, it is going to be what’s going to be done, who is going to do it, and how to do it.” Workshop co-facilitator, age-friendly community co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt, noted the topical questions included identifying current strengths and supports provided by the people, organizations and businesses in the community. “Let’s honour some of the things we see in our community already that are connected to the subjects that you are talking about.” A group discussing the “food and nutrition” topic touched on the need for a closedloop food supply and security for community elders; weekly wholesome food delivery,

such as boxes of fresh produce and community supported pasture (local meat boxes); continuing the current soup kitchen; and ensuring healthy foods are “fully respected,” both at home and at the hospital. At the “advocacy” table, the group felt advocacy included helping elders build resilience against obstacles, and having advocates who take a leadership role in defending seniors while also working to empower them with the ability to help themselves. The “communication” group discussed providing access to information via the Internet, including e-mail groups and a seniors’ web page, Smirfitt’s Well on the Way newsletter, media and bulletin boards. At the “active living” table, participants recognized existing area assets, including Creekside Seniors Activity Centre and the

Lac la Hache O.A.P.O. Pioneer Centre. It noted a local Tai Chi group is operated in various rural communities, and discussed an idea to have a mobile aerobics instructor facilitating rural groups, as well as using the former 100 Mile House Junior Secondary (OMHJS) gymnasium for indoor walking/ exercise in winter. The “question mark” table, which hosted those with suggestions or perceived needs not necessarily included under another topic, came up with various thoughts for communication, learning, teaching, lowcost affordable transit options, rider boards and HandyDART for more outlying areas, and lighter, easier to open doors at local shops and businesses. The various breakout groups also suggested a rural transit bus route that seniors could flag a bus down as needed (transporta-

tion), and an idea for co-operative ownership, building expansion and creation of retirement community living units at the OMHJS (housing and supports). Helping elders to cross barriers to getting out of the house and sharing expertise amongst seniors and advocates (education and awareness), as well as a central information hub and centralized services for seniors (health care) were also discussed. Fossum wrapped up the session by noting the AFRBC project is still in its “baby” stage and stressed the importance of everyone keeping in touch in an organized manner. “It is essential now to keep up the momentum.” Noting the next large group session will be in September, Smirfitt added ideas are also being sought for an AFRBC event during which a New Horizons for Seniors grant could be pursued.

CRD launches new website

The Cariboo Regional District has unveiled its new corporate website, which is located at http.//www. cariboord.ca The site has been designed based on feedback and suggestions received from residents, along with research into best practices from other local governments. The goal of the redesign was to modernize the look and make the website more usable, professional and adaptable. The CRD website has been developed to provide information and interactivity for and with residents, visitors and the general public who live, work or play within the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The budget for this project was $7,500 and the site was built by Sticky Wicket Designs of Prince George. “The Cariboo Regional District has optimized the use of our website to facilitate better communications with all residents and audiences,” says

CRD chair Al Richmond. “We want to ensure we are providing a website with thorough and current information that will serve our residents’ needs at a reasonable price.” Some of the key features of the new website include improved navigation, search engine optimization, enhanced internal search capabilities, mobile device compatibility, and it’s compatible with all major browsers while in a user-friendly layout. Among other purposes, the CRD is using the website to provide bylaw information, departmental information and updates, regional district news and events as well as emergency operations communications. Given the growing and important role social media is playing within our society, the CRD has also fully integrated Facebook, Twitter and YouTube with room for expansion as new social media tools are developed.

The Royal Canadian Legion #260-100 Mile House made a solid presentation, requesting a break on its property taxation, to District of 100 Mile House council at its June 10 meeting. Legion president Bob Wangensteen noted there is currently no allowance for a potential tax exemption because its property is zoned C-3 Commercial. While he hopes the District will consider changing its zoning bylaws to allow for full tax exemption for the Legion, such as is applied to several other local non-profit organizations, it was not the focus of the request. “We are looking for a [partial] tax break, just to help us. The Legion is slowing down and we need to keep the doors open, and keep it open as much as we can.” While the Legion offers a place where veterans can socialize and buy affordable meals and drinks, Wangensteen stressed it “is not a business.” This is a common misconception, he noted. “It is a not-for-profit organization and its primary goal is to look after, or serve, veterans and their dependants, both serving and retired. “On top of that, in our motto, is ‘service’ – and that is service to the community. “I try to focus on acquiring everything we can locally, from our new cash register to

any supplies we can get here.” The Red Friday campaign is 100 per cent local, as is any event connected to that, he added. “I have got the Legion now supporting the school meal programs, breakfast and lunch; and we give a large donation to Bridge Lake’s Meals on Wheels, and a donation to its community centre to help that because there are lots of seniors out there. The Legion also recently donated to the Kukoro Judo Club, Wangensteen said. “So, seniors and young people are our main goal to help.” Under the Legion’s bylaws, he noted it can only financially assist other not-for-profit organizations. “We gave away more than $10,000 in April, and that was all gaming money, that money doesn’t go to the Legion. When the Legion makes a little bit of money, it’s all donated. “It is dedicated to community service, as well as to our veterans and their dependants.” The shrinking membership during the past decade of conflict in Afghanistan seems to be due to a lack of desire in those veterans to seek personal help or support, Wangensteen explained. “They want to be alone and by themselves deal with various problems that they have. We’ve taken it upon ourselves here to put a great deal of support behind the work for PTSD

some changes. “They’ve requested this before and they have not been granted it.” However, Campsall said there are a “whole gamut” of more questions and information requests council will have before potentially approving any tax break for the Legion. “We want to make sure before we start doing anything that we get the policy in place first, but staff has been already working on this for a while.” Fully Licensed Center Subsidy Accepted for All Programs Licensed Preschool & Playschool Before & After School Child Care Kindergarten thru Grade 7

Taseko: Decision gives clarity to mine debate

Gaven Crites Free Press

One of the significant factors complicating the New Prosperity Mine Project was solved by the historic decision on June 26 by Canada’s top court granting Aboriginal title to more than 1,700 square kilometres of land in the Chilcotin to the Tsilhqot’in First Nation, says Brian Battison, Taseko Mines Ltd. vicepresident of corporate affairs.

Government Tribal chair, doesn’t. “They’re already dead. They never had a chance. What [the ruling] does is if Prosperity ever wanted to take one more kick at the can and go with option 3, that their chances are even slimmer.” While there is public support for the open pit mine project, it faces serious opposition from members of the Tsilhqot’in First Nation, a collection of six bands that include about 3,000 people. Roger William, Chief of the Xeni Gwet’in Band, one of six that make up the Tsilhqot’in

First Nation, was the plaintiff in the Supreme Court case on behalf of the Tsilhqot’in Nation. The landmark ruling, the first of its kind in Canada, means all of the project’s stakeholders are in uncharted waters.

However, Battison says the opportunity exists now for a new way forward. “We would welcome and look forward to the opportunity to have positive dialogue with the Tsilhqot’in First Nation.”

Support available for youth

Some people seem to believe that government services for youth in care act merely as a temporary lifeline that ends abruptly after those young people turn 19. This could not be further from the truth. There is a comprehensive range of services in British Columbia to help address the social, health, economic and educational needs of all current and former youth in care. Well before they reach age 19, youth in care have access to outreach workers, support workers, youth and family mediation, safe house and emergency shelter beds, transitional housing and programs that promote independent living. Social workers help plan for their transition into adulthood and ensure they are aware of the supports and services available to them once they do become adults.

GUEST SHOT

hen the federal Conservative government gave its approval on the Northern Gateway pipeline project, it appeared to be a move to take the burden off Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s shoulders and place the pressure squarely on Enbridge and British Columbia Premier Christy Clark. The Tories June 17 approval is contingent of Enbridge’s pipeline project meeting the 209 conditions previously recommended by the independent National Energy Board. The pipeline proponents also have to satisfy the four remaining conditions Clark placed on Enbridge before the B.C. Liberal government would allow the pipeline to go through B.C. Clearly, Enbridge has a lot of hurdles to overcome before it can even consider building a pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast of B.C. Opposition to the pipeline, as well as the company’s spill-response performance, has been growing exponentially ever since Enbridge’s proposal became public. There are varying degrees of opposition ranging from those who are dead against the idea to those who would like to see the project postponed until further safety measures can be put in place, such as refining the bitumen into a “less toxic brew” before it’s shipped from Kitimat and through the coastal waters of B.C. Meanwhile, there are folks who see the pipeline project being vital to the national economy, as well as for B.C.’s economy in the form of fees and jobs. B.C. Chamber of Commerce president and CEO John Winter notes that “oil is a major source of Canada’s resource wealth, but with virtually no pipeline capacity to the West Coast, Canada’s producers are stuck at selling oil at depressed prices to the [United States] – sometimes $30 a barrel below world prices.” However, the biggest hurdles for Enbridge are the 31 First Nations groups in the North, Coastal, Vancouver Island and the Interior that are strongly opposed to the bitumen transport by pipeline to the West Coast and then by tanker “endangering” the coastline. They say they pursue every legal means to block the project. Art Sterritt, Coastal First Nations executive director, says the pipeline project is virtually dead because Enbridge will never be able to fulfill the 209 conditions. “We’ve been clear there is no technology to clean up an oil spill and the dispersant that is used causes more damage than the oil itself.” Obviously, conversations and negotiations between the First Nations and Enbridge have to occur and first-class measures for safe transportation of bitumen over the land and oceans have to be in place before the pipeline goes in the ground.

current and former youth in care more effectively. With that being said, we know youth who are supported with permanent, stable, long-term family relationships tend to achieve higher levels of success as adults. To that end, we are putting an emphasis on adoption and other forms of permanency as part of every child and youth’s care plan, and investing an additional $2 million to help more children and youth in care find forever homes through guardianship and adoption. We want all children and youth in care to have the best opportunities for success in life. Every young person takes a different path to adulthood and self-sufficiency. Our task is to support them, provide stability and help them gain the life and work skills they need to become independent. Stephanie Cadieux is the Minister of Children and Family Development.

Opinion

Feral cats slipped through cracks To the editor: This is an open letter to Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. Have you ever wondered what happened to lands that went back to the provincial government for nonpayment of taxes? Well, I was unfortunate to have a residence next door to one. In 2012, I discovered the property next door transferred into the name of Her Majesty the Queen In Right

of the Province of British Columbia on Jan. 27, 2003, but the person who previously owned it was still living there. It is my understanding that when this occurs, the property forfeited is then offered for sale and the proceeds from a sale are used to pay outstanding taxes. I contacted our local MLA Donna Barnett who contacted the department responsible for this area and found out it had “slipped through

the cracks.” Meanwhile, the property was deteriorating in that the balcony on the front of the house was actually falling off and the property was becoming overpopulated with over 200 feral cats. In October 2013, an Order for Vacant Possession of the property was granted. In April 2014, nothing is happening and now the feral cats are occupying my property, too. In May, the occupant was forcibly

removed and the ministry took possession. I was told that the house would be demolished as the state inside was quite thick with cat defecation. The house was boarded up except for small areas left for the cats to get in and out. Six weeks later, the cats remain despite the lack of food and they’re fighting all the time. Government’s advice is they are not responsible for the cats and that the neighbouring properties can

trap the cats and take them to the Williams Lake SPCA. I provided case law and included section 8 of the Occupiers Liability Act. Today, the cats are still occupying the property and to the best of my knowledge with no food, and the smell is getting stronger. How many other properties are there like this?

Reader: NDP expenses out of line To the editor: Monthly expense claim information is available at the bcndpcaucus.ca website. It seems there are no

rules to follow – fill out an expense claim form and a cheque will be issued. Out of 34 NDP MLAs, Claire Trevena, member

from North Island, has the highest claim for car mileage. From July 2013 to February 2014, she claimed 10,040 kilometres for a total

of $5,220.80. Second was Scott Fraser from Alberni-Pacific Rim. He claimed 8,106 km for a total of $4,215.40. It’s amazing when

Passing Bill C-18 would violate right to natural foods To the editor: We are opposed to multinational companies having greater power and control over Canada’s seed industry. Canada must recognize the inherent rights of farmers – derived from thousands of years of custom and tradition – to save, reuse, select, exchange and sell seeds. Please refrain from making any changes to the Seeds Act or to the Plant

Breeders’ Rights Act that would further restrict farmers’ rights. This is our food we are talking about. We do not buy any products that are genetically modified and we have the right to have access to non-genetically modified foods. The passing of Bill C-18 would violate our right to natural, non-modified foods as it would make genetically modified seeds the standard for agriculture in

Canada and eliminate the possibility of challenging the dominance of industrial agriculture in court. Anyone wishing to express their opposition to Bill C-18 can do so by e-mailing their local MP. MPs’ e-mail addresses are listed on the Parliament of Canada website. Sandi Mikuse, Claudette Laffey Kamloops

Jennifer Rice, Robin Austin, and Norm MacDonald were renting cars while in Victoria, which has one of the best public transportation systems available. Harry Bains spent $1,076.65 in cab fares from July 2013 to February 2014. Jennifer Rice from North Coast spent $18,615.48 in air fares from July 2013 to February 2014. It is taxpayers’ money. Can’t she take the time to pre-book her flights in advance to save money? Lana Popham, NDP MLA for Saanich South,

spent $9,715.70 in air fares. Where did she fly to in comparison to Austin who spent $11,743.06 in air fares, but commutes from the Skeena riding? Mike Farnworth spent $198 on Feb. 4, 2014 for one cab fare. There are many more examples on the website. These expense claims are just a licence to print cheques on taxpayers’ money.

BC VIEWS

he Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on Aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered. Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century, or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties? The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago. It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the Aboriginal title claim. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued the logging was

of declared Aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other Aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own Aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. However, there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent. They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

TERRACE - A group of local artists plans to paint over the marijuana leaf painting which appeared on the rock face over the old Skeena Bridge. That's the word from local artist Matthew Daratha, who confirmed June 26 he and a group of artists he is associated with will be replacing the new painting with one of a bear. The marijuana leaf mural appeared on the rock face last week, covering up a painting of a Kermode bear which appeared last fall. That bear was a replacement for the long-standing Kermode bear painting which was painted over with grey paint suddenly last year. It's still unconfirmed who painted over the first Kermode bear, who painted the replacement Kermode bear, and who painted the marijuana leaf. Online discussion over the new pot-themed painting has been significant, with some commenters lamenting the change and others speculating that it could be a sign from a group who wishes to promote alternative energy sources. That's in part because of the blue “United Against Enbridge” sign which has also been placed on the rock face, and because the new painting appeared following the federal government's conditional approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline. Some have speculated that local millionaire marijuana activist Bob Erb could be behind the new painting, but a post on Deviant Fibres' Facebook page, the store which Erb is part owner of, says he wasn't involved in the stunt.

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a number on sunscreen labels to indicate the relative sun protection the product gives. If you normally burn in 5 minutes without sunscreen, using a SPF 30 product will give you 150 minutes of protection. An SPF of 50 will give you 250 minutes of protection. Whatever sunscreen you use, be sure to apply it about a half hour before sun exposure and reapply, especially after swimming and sweating. Also apply enough...about a teaspoonful for each leg and also the same amount for each of your chest, stomach and back and half-tsp each on arm, face, neck and ears. It’s sad to read stories of someone dying from a preventable disease. Meningitis is one of those. There is a vaccine available and the Centre for Disease Control recommends it be given to all children 11-18. Good personal hygiene is important as well as not sharing food, drink containers, utensils, towels and cosmetics. Regular hand-washing is also important. Speaking of immunization and prevention of disease, a recent analysis of the global economic effects of immunization shows that vaccinating our children saves billions in future direct and indirect costs to healthcare. As well, it saves over 42,000 lives and over 20 million cases of disease yearly. Vaccination works.

100 Mile RCMP shut down excessive drivers on long weekend

Police

report 100 Mile RCMP responded to 103 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Excessive speeding Over the long weekend, there was a marked increase in traffic through the 100 Mile House area. Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Services and 100 Mile House Detachment personnel were focusing on traffic enforce-

ment during the weekend. A number of check-stops were put in place throughout the region. Of note, on June 27, there were three instances of excessive speeding south of 100 Mile House on Highway 97. Speeds ranged from 47 to 55 km/h over the posted speed limit. All of these drivers were ticketed and their vehicles were impounded for seven days. Boat recovered On June 26, a resident of Lac la Hache reported he had recovered a 12-foot fibreglass boat that was adrift on

the lake. The boat is described as being white on the outside and grey on the inside. If anyone has lost this boat on Lac la Hache, they are asked to contact the 100 Mile House Detachment at 250-395-2456 and quote file 2014-1803.

road when he left the roadway to the right. The bike travelled in the ditch sideways and then the driver was thrown into the ditch. The motorcycle flipped several times before coming to rest in the grass. A passing logging truck operator saw the motorcycle and stopped. The bike rider, who had a broken leg, was taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital by ambulance and was subsequently air lifted to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Speed is believed to be a factor in this collision.

Municipalities in British Columbia may exempt certain properties from property taxes by passing a bylaw in accordance with Division 7 - Permissive Exemptions of the Community Charter. A permissive tax exemption is a means for Council to support organizations within the community which further Council’s objectives of enhancing quality of life (economic, social, cultural) and delivering services economically. There is no obligation for Council to grant a permissive tax exemption. The following are some examples of types of properties which may be exempted: • Properties owned or held by a charitable, philanthropic or other not-for-profit corporations • Properties owned or held by municipalities, regional cities or other local authorities • Properties owned or held by athletic or service clubs or associations and used as public parks or recreations grounds, or for public athletic or recreational purposes. • Properties operated as a licensed community care facility or registered assisted living residence.

Attempted murder suspect undergoing psych assessment Ken Alexander Free Press

100 Mile House area resident Phillip May, who is facing numerous charges stemming from a shooting incident and a police chase on May 31, appeared in Williams Lake provincial court on June 18. The 59-year-old is looking at charges of attempted murder, assault, criminal harassment, use firearm in commission of offence, uttering threats, possession of a prohibited weapon and other offences. On June 18, the judge determined the suspect should have a psychological assessment and his next court date is set for July 16. Around 8:25 a.m. on May 31, police responded to a complaint of a man in distress at 93 Mile Loop Road residence and they found a 39-year-old man who had been shot. During the initial police investigation, May was identified as

the suspect. Officers then went to a Lone Butte area residence to arrest the suspect. When they arrived, officers confirmed he was present; however, they set up containment areas around the residence because they believed he was armed. However, May fled the residence, hopped into a vehicle and raced away from the scene. When the suspect fled, RCMP officers were able to effectively deploy a spike belt. When he drove over the spike belt and continued driving on the rims. Fearing he was making his way toward a more populated area, officers forced his vehicle off the road by performing a precision immobilization technique (PIT) manoeuvre – a pursuing car forces a fleeing car by bumping it and making it abruptly turn sideways, causing the driver to lose control and stop.

Whether you’re golfing, boating or going to a barbecue with friends, plan ahead for a safe ride home. “The tough approach we introduced in 2010 has helped curtail drinking and driving and cut the alcohol-related death toll on our roads by more than half,” says Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and

Minister of Justice. “However, we know some people still don’t take the issue seriously. That’s why we’re ensuring an additional $1 million is available to police for enhanced enforcement overtime, such as CounterAttack. Targeted enforcement remains critical to intercepting those who continue to put other road users in danger.”

Rolling with the punches Zeus Fight Science keeps hard hitting, inclusive philosophy at new location

Gaven Crites Free Press

New gym. Same Kelly Ricketts. Young or old, in shape or not, the local boxing and fitness coach says he's still going to get 100 per cent out of you. (And that's whether you like it or not, he jokes.) Ricketts, proprietor of Zeus Fight Science, recently relocated his gym from a garage on Exeter Road to a large room adjacent to the lanes inside the bowling alley on Scott Street in 100 Mile House. It's a cozier feel on Scott Street. The roof hangs lower, but there's actually a bit more space accommodating the full-size boxing ring in the middle of the floor and the punching bags hanging at both ends of the room. And

there's a separate locker local Special Olympics area, so it's a bit more program, were worried organized that way with the boxing coach would less gear scattered all knockout the only lanes over. in town.

(The munity, especially the operation as a whole

has been renamed Zeus Fight Science and Recreation.) Ricketts talks about cleaning the place up, making it a welcoming location for people and families, and buying a ton of new shoes. “There's some history with the bowling alley, and it's not a good history, from what I gather. “We're a different bowling alley. It's not the same bowling alley – 'give me the size 11s with the extra duct tape.' It's a different looking place.” The family is planning a grand opening event sometime in the near future, but boxers have been training there since the beginning of June. (Boxers Quinn Axelson, 19, and Brandon Balbirnie, 14, are expected to fight on a card in Langley soon, the date of which had

yet to be determined at press time.) There are more plans to add to the facility as well. Ricketts wants to build a swim tank for triathlon training this fall and then construct a cross fit course out in the yard next year. Bowling or boxing, Ricketts says he wants people to feel comfortable. “Come in here, be part of this family, and have fun.”

Financial Tip of the Week With Are your GIC’s working against you.

The real after tax rate of return is the return on an investment Dave Simkins adjusted for taxation and inflation. Branch Manager If you are an investor who is paying 30% tax and inflation is 3%, to break even you would need a return of 4.29%. If your funds are in GIC’s, to obtain this rate currently may be difficult. Other alternatives such as monthly income and guaranteed retirement income funds aim to outperform 5 year GIC’s.

Optometry student opens eyes in Nicaragua

Volunteer assists underprivileged in Central America Carole Rooney Free Press

Kyrstie McIntosh of 100 Mile House travelled to Nicaragua in March to volunteer with the Amigos program at Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity (VOSH/ International). McIntosh, who is currently studying in Oregon to be an optometrist, says the eye-care team included eight other optometry students, a Portland area optometrist, and two volunteers. They spent their time in Jinotega and San Rafael del Norte performing vision screenings.

Submitted photo

Kyrstie McIntosh checked the eyes of many Nicaraguan patients while volunteering recently with the Amigos Program of the Volunteer Optometric Service to Humanity. McIntosh noted she was able to hand out several glasses that were collected by the 100 Mile House Lions Club.

“Our group was able to see approximately 500 patients in the time we were there. “The vision screenings were to assess the health of the patients’ eyes and to obtain

a prescription. The screening included obtaining patient history, checking visual acuity, performing direct ophthalmoscopy, and retinoscopy.” The students and

optometrist also used a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope to assess the retina more thoroughly in certain patients, McIntosh adds. “In addition to gener-

al vision screening, we also assessed patients for cataracts, and were able to compile a list of patients to pass on to an ophthalmologist ... to perform surgery for these people.” She notes the group took along several hundred pairs of donated glasses, which included those collected and donated by the Lions Club of 100 Mile House, and gave them to the patients. “It was very special to interact with these people and watch them light up when we found them a pair of glasses that allowed them to see. It is something I had never seen and will always remember.” McIntosh says she hopes to participate in more Amigos trips to practise her skills as an optometrist in training. It is an opportunity to

see certain ocular conditions and diseases that are not prevalent in developed countries. “The majority of the patients we saw spoke nearly no English and we had to learn fast. “We had a lot of fun communicating with the patients and I am

“We are pleased to have Colleen [Whidden] joining us as our vocal adjudicator,” says Buyar. “Colleen is well known in the community. She was active as a music teacher at Peter Skene Ogden and was very involved in the performing arts scene in 100 Mile House prior to her move to Calgary.” Whidden was a vocal adjudicator at the recent Performing Arts B.C. Festival in Penticton June 4-7. Local students Anna Betuzzi (piano), Lydia Kinasewich (speech arts), Courtney Cave and Mia Weir (vocal) attended the provincial festival. Weir received an honourable mention for her performance in junior

classical voice. Observers, who also had an opportunity to perform and receive an adjudication, were Emma Donnelly (strings), Kayleigh Jacobsen (vocal) and Betuzzi (instrumental). Kinasewich says Penticton was an amazing experience. “I was able to watch speech arts and musical theatre performances, which were inspiring and moving. I even had time to watch some modern dance. All the performers gave high quality performances. “As a competitor, I received feedback from the adjudicator about things to try.

NDP propose B.C. Poverty Reduction and Economic Inclusion Act

Ken Alexander Free Press

Opposition MLA Michelle Mungall introduced a private member’s bill proposing a British Columbia Poverty Reduction and Economic Inclusion Act in the B.C. legislature recently. If it’s passed in the legislature, the act would see the government develop a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy within one year, and legislate specific targets and timelines to reduce the breadth and depth of poverty. The bill has gained a groundswell of support with anti-poverty groups throughout the province, as well as with groups that work with folks – children, families and individual men and women – struggling with poverty on a daily basis. In 100 Mile House, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) Society co-chairs Noella Andrews and Diane Cober released the following statement. “As the board [chairs] of the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, we feel strongly the children in British Columbia deserve to live in a family that is not stressed daily by the financial challenges of basic needs like buying food and paying rent. We are a member of the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition and encourage everyone to become involved in advocating for a just community free of poverty.” The proposed act includes extensive community consultation, including with those living in poverty, and also outlines how a government should be held accountable for progress. If passed the act would commit: • To embed targets in legislation; • To appoint a lead minister; • To have a cabinet committee to oversee the strategy co-chaired by the premier, • To have an outside advisory committee to hold the government to account; and • To annual reporting to monitor progress. “Each day at CFEC we see the negative physical and mental toll poverty has on new parents and their children in the South Cariboo,” says Sheila

Glen, program manager early years. “Research studies have clearly shown over and over again that poverty has a direct causal effect of reducing childhood development causing life long problems which impacts on all of us.” After years of building support throughout the province for a poverty reduction plan for B.C., it is gratifying to see the Opposition signal a strong commitment, says Seth Klein, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives-B.C. Office director and BC Poverty Reduction Coalition (BCPRC) co-chair. “However, I hope to hear more from the Opposition about what their first steps would be, as we know the urgency of initial actions and these don’t need to wait for the development of a full strategy, such as raising inadequate welfare rates that have been frozen since 2007.” Ted Bruce of the Public Health Association of BC and BCPRC cochair notes the significance of the guiding principles of the act to protect human rights, address the social and economic costs of poverty, and address the social determinants of health. “We know the costs of health care alone in relation to poverty are $1.2 billion a year. Tackling poverty upfront is the single biggest factor in improving health outcomes for everyone, not just those living in poverty.” The BCPRC states it welcomes this bill, as B.C. has had the highest poverty rate in Canada for the last 13 years, but is now one of only two provinces left without a poverty reduction plan. When Premier Christy Clark announced in February the B.C. Liberal government was going to battle poverty in B.C., CFEC executive director Lisa De Paoli indicated she was pleased to hear the news. “Taking action to tackle child poverty is essential to the future health and well-being of our community. It is heartening that the government has heard, and is responding, to the voices of many children, youth and families in the South Cariboo who daily face the debilitating challenges of poverty.”

Councillors decline endorsement request At its June 24 meeting, the District of 100 Mile House council declined to endorse a resolution of the Westray Amendments to Canada’s Criminal Code requested by United Steelworkers (USW), due to lack of expressed local interest. The amendments to Bill C-45 were inspired by the deaths of 26

men when the Westray coal mine exploded in Nova Scotia in 1992, and is designed to punish corporations that fail to protect the health of their employees. Mayor Mitch Campsall said if, and when, any support comes from the local USW union, council may revisit the idea.

Aloha from 100 Mile

The South Cariboo Rec. Centre had a Hawaiian flavour on June 21. Students of Cheralyn’s Polynesian Dance Studio put on a display for families and friends as part of a year end show called a “Ho’ike.”

The fifth annual event featured colourful costumes, dances from the islands of Polynesia, a dessert buffet, student awards and a Hawaiian-naming ceremony. This year, 28 students ranging in age from three to 40

learned the art of Hula, Tahitian and Maori dance at Cheralyn’s Polynesian Dance Studio, operated by Cheralyn Gent in 108 Mile Ranch. Gent opened the school in 2009 and started with four students.

Red serge hugs across the miles Carole Rooney Free Press

couple of local women whose husbands are police officers in 100 Mile House have joined forces to raise money for the families of the three fallen RCMP members in Moncton. Danielle Berze and Ashley Pfeifer successfully sold 111 red children’s T-shirts and a dozen red onesies (baby suits) to RCMP spouses across Canada, so far raising $1,800 for the three families of the fallen officers in Moncton. These shirts, customprinted with Red Serge Proud in white script, were shipped all across the country from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island in

www.100milefreepress.net

late June. Aside from the monetary help, Berze says their hope is that through RCMP families wearing the shirts, it will help recognize the loss and hardship experienced by the Moncton widows. “I am really honoured to be able to do this because my husband is a local RCMP member here, so I know what an awesome ‘RCMP family’ there is, and we want to support one another.” Berze explains she initially asked Sue Fryer to screen print two for her children, after having contacted the larger Red Serge Proud RCMP T-shirt program and discovering they had no children’s sizes available. “I was excited about my shirts and posted a picture of them on an RCMP

Carole Rooney photo

Danielle Berze, left, Sue Fryer and Ashley Pfeifer gathered at Fryer’s home to pack up T-shirts emblazoned with Red Serge Proud in white script on June 24. Berze and Pfeifer collaborated to sell the shirts as a fundraiser for the families of three RCMP officers recently slain in Moncton.

T-shirt fundraiser focuses on Moncton RCMP families Spouse Facebook page, and then got bombarded by the other women who wanted to show their support and have some money going to the Moncton Fallen Members Fund. A lot of families wanted kids shirts ... so I thought I would ... see if Sue was up for a challenge of doing our own thing [here].” Fryer also helped significantly to boost the revenue total by donating her time, expertise and supplies to screen print the T-shirts and onesies, and also assist-

ed in getting them shipped out, Berze notes. The T-shirts are a practical way for her and Pfeifer to raise funds, so these families can have “a little bit of the burden” relieved financially, she added poignantly. “We just wanted to do something because we kind of feel a bit helpless when they are so far across the country and we can’t be there to hug them. “We can all be united and wear our red shirts and show that we stand behind

our members and we are proud of their service.” Pfeifer says in being an RCMP wife herself, she strongly sympathizes with the widows of the three Moncton officers slain in the line of duty on June 4, in a brutal shooting attack that left two others injured. “It’s really awesome to see everyone come together as an ‘RCMP family’ when something as devastating as this happens ... and being able to raise money for such a great cause.” Berze adds they were thrilled when the Nanaimo woman who started the Red Serge Proud adult T-shirt fundraiser – which raised more than $40,000 – ordered some shirts for her own kids. “We were really excited. It’s really awesome.”

Fryer credits Berze and Pfeifer for leading the charge to raise these funds cross Canada. “For me, it is just an honour to help out.” Donations can be made to the families by noting “Moncton Fallen Members Fund” in the memo line on a cheque made out to the RCMP Foundation at 2032460 Lancaster Rd., Ottawa, ON K1B 4S5; or online at www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/mem/ fund-fonds-eng.htm. Berze notes the three families receiving the funds will also be surprise gifted with five Red Serge Proud T-shirts for their own children, and a onesie for the widow who is expecting a baby, to further recognize their suffering and loss and to demonstrate camaraderie and support.

Pinkett captures changing scenes

Free Press

Walk around 100 Mile House and you’re probably familiar with his work. Neil Pinkett painted a number of the large murals around town, including the one outside the 100 Mile Curling Club and the one depicting a Lone Butte station master on the southern wall of the South Cariboo Theatre. More of the Forest Grove resident’s paintings – about 30 works of oil and acyclic – are currently on display at Parkside Art Gallery until July 19. The show is called “Appear and Disappear” and features subject matter of a temporary nature. Think autumn leaves, reflections in water, clouds, and things constantly on the move. “It’s all changing, all the time,” Pinkett explains. “To

two-inches square, in very high detail with a tiny little pen. It’s different than having your work blown up on the side of a building for everyone to see for years, he says. “The worst thing about [painting murals] I guess is it’s constantly on display while you’re working. Like most artists, I like to work in private, and if you make a mistake, you’re kind of in a panic to fix it.... “You have to see it for ever after in town, which is a double-edged sword because you always see things you would like to change.” Pinkett is a volunteer at Parkside Art Gallery. He says it was one of the reasons he decided to relocate to the area. “It’s a great little art gallery and community of artists around here. I think it’s a pretty vibrant scene here.” 2580 Rose Dr. 150 MILE HOUSE

attention to every detail. “Sometimes I think it’s just the patience, if anything, that sets me apart. Every square inch of the picture is of equal value. I put as much time into it all.” That extra time and care is evident in his painting of a partially frozen Canim Lake. Myriad shades of blue flow and mix into the scene and hundreds of tiny points of green and orange dot a mountain background. “I’ve never strove to be unique. To me it’s more striving to be true to your own path. And things can change wildly along the way.” Pinkett, a resident of the South Cariboo for close to six years, is from Nottingham, England. He moved to Canada in 1998. He can paint big, like the murals, and also small. In the past, he would create little ink drawings about

Lion Jean Cornet made Life Member

LIONS SERVE

100 Mile House Lions Club elects its new executive The 100 Mile House Lions Club got a couple of important pieces of business done at their June 18 meeting. The Lions recognized Jean Cornet as a Life Member of the club and presented her with a Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowship to recognize her contribution to Lions International and to the community. Her service in Lions International began more than 20 years ago, starting as a Lioness and then transferring to the 100 Mile House Lions Club. In addition, she has spent countless hours volunteering in the community with many community organizations, including Meals-on-Wheels, the Mill Site Lodge/ Fischer Place Auxiliary, parent-teacher groups, seniors outreach and the Alzheimer’s Support Group. Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowships support the training of guide dogs for the Lions Foundation of Canada. Guide dogs are trained to assist Canadians with challenges in vision loss or impairment, hearing loss, autism assistance, service assistance, seizure response and diabetic alert. The other important piece of business that

evening was electing the 100 Mile House Lions Club 2014/15 executive as follows: president Judy Linnell; vice-president Neil VanderHorst; past-president Diane Collens; secretary Ron Graves; treasurer Kim Taylor; membership director Michael Langner; tail twister Brenda Hood; Lion tamer Rod Taylor; one-year directors Jean Cornet, Lorette Penn, Peter Mayr and Gerry Niblow; and twoyear directors Gudrun Schneider and Ray Carlson.

Small dog attacked by larger dog 108 Mile Ranch

Reg Berrington 250-791-9235

One of our local residents has reported that while she was walking her small dog along the Sepa Lake Trail on June 22 around 7 p.m., she met a woman with a large Boxer. The woman with the small dog was warned to keep her dog away as her Boxer hates other dogs. While taking a wide berth around the woman with the big dog, the Boxer attacked the small dog. Both women struggled to separate the dogs, and although the small dog was traumatized and the owner was very upset, the small dog appeared to be uninjured. In the event this happens to anyone else, contact the RCMP and advise them.

Airport at the 108 Mile Ranch will be used by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations as its base for the spraying.

Question of the Week Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking spot that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.
